I walk by the craft room, peer inside, and keep walking. I think of every excuse to not go in - I'm tired; I'm not motivated; I can't. It's all the little gremlin voice trying to prevent me from taking the risk of creating. And I succumb. Often I just let the gremlin win. Yesterday I decided to slay the gremlin and just picked up a piece of paper that had been sitting on the craft room table. It had some ink stains and paint drips on it and I just began to add to it. That's all it takes to slay the gremlin. Just beginning. Just picking up the pen, brush, stamp and putting it onto the paper. A small move of your hand. A small risk in the grand scheme of things. Yes, the gremlin will be back. But for now, I feel victorious!
Today I am sharing an art journal page I created for Paper Crafter's Library. For a supply list and full step-by-step video instructions, head on over to Paper Crafter's Library by using the badge in the upper right-hand corner of my blog and look into becoming a member. I create projects for Paper Crafter's Library every month and enjoy stretching my creative limits! Come join us!
